1. INTRODUCTION: 

 

The  K1  hazer  is  a  high-performance  water-based  haze  generator,  using  the  latest 
technology with state-of-the-art electronics, and a low-mass, wide bore heat exchanger.  
The hazer requires a low operating air pressure and therefore it can use a silent linear air 
pump. It can operate continuously without interrupts for re-heating or purging.  

 
The fluid: 

K1 uses a special developed molecular haze liquid and is NOT compatible with other fluids. 

The  liquid  is  supplied  as  standard  in  3L  bag-in-box  Oktagon   containers.  This  patented 
container reduces  the  use  of  plastics  with  75%  compared  with  common  plastic  canisters. 

The outer box is made with recycled paper, and the bag & carton are recycle-able after use.  
 

The bag-in-box system is a completely sealed container. Unlike common plastic canisters 

with cap, no air needs to be let into the bag while the fluid is consumed, the bag collapses 
flat  while  the  liquid  is  consumed.  Bag  with  a  dual-layer  EVOH,  an  environment-friendly, 

food-grade  PE  plastics  (recycle-able).  This  material  transfers  100,000  times  less  oxygen 
compared with common plastic canisters. The fluid is kept in an almost 100% oxygen-free 

environment during the whole consumption cycle. This means no aging of fluid, no growth 

of bacteria or mold, and no reduced lifetime of fluid. A bag-in-box container can be stored 
for long times, even after consumption started.   
 

No loose caps or openings mean the machine and fluid can be stored, shipped & handled 
in any position without risk of leaking.   
 

 

K1 requires a 1-minute heat-up time only. 
 

 

It can operate continuously at full, non-reduced output as long as fluid and power are 
supplied. 

  

 

One  3L  fluid  container  will  last  for  approx.  5  hours  at  full  (100%)  output,  and 
theoretically, up to 300 hours at 1%. Estimated for most normal venues, a 3L container 
will last for 8-20 hours of normal use but depends on capacity requirements.  

  

 

K1  can  be  connected  to  external  fluid  containers,  for  permanent  installations.  This 
requires a special adapter (optional). 

 

 

All internal parts are easy to service or replace.  

 

 

Parameter  service  control  maintains  the  lifetime  of  electro-mechanical  components 
such  as  pumps  &  filters  and  will  remind  the  user  when  service  or  replacement  is 
needed. This method is similar to motorcars, where the owner is reminded when service 
is required.   
  

We hope that you will be fully satisfied with the performance and the affordable Total Cost 
of Ownership (TCO) offered with a Swefog K1. However, to keep your machine functioning 
like new throughout its entire life, it is important to follow the instructions in this manual 
and to perform regular maintenance of the hazer and always to use original spare parts & 
fluid. 
 
NOTE:  Use original K1 molecular haze fluid only. This machine is NOT compatible with other 
Swefog  liquids,  and  no  OEM fluids.  The use  of  any  other fluid  will  void  the  warranty, and 
most  likely  quickly  damage  internal  components.  K1  is  developed  for  K1  fluid,  and  other 
fluids will change performance and may interfere with the machine s internal sensors. This 
may lead to unstable function and in the worst case become hazardous.   
 
Eco-mode: 

The machine uses an eco-mode to increase the life-time of air pump & filter. The air pump 
is active during fog production and for purging after fog has been produced. Then, the air 
pump  will  be  automatically  disabled,  which  increases  lifetime  and  makes  the  machine 

silent.  
If the machine is not producing fog for long periods (idle), the air pump will automatically 
re-start and run for a short period, and then be switched off again. This, to purge the heat
